we want on curl/libcurl and it does not spread to other programs or
libraries that use it. It should be possible for everyone to use libcurl or
curl in their projects, no matter what license they already have in use.
7. PHP/CURL Issues
7.1 What is PHP/CURL?
The module for PHP that makes it possible for PHP programs to access curl-
functions from within PHP. We often call it PHP/CURL to differentiate from
curl the command line tool and libcurl the library.
7.2 Who write PHP/CURL?
PHP/CURL is a module that comes with the regular PHP package. It depends and
uses libcurl, so you need to have libcurl installed properly first before
PHP/CURL can be used. PHP/CURL is written by Sterling Hughes.
7.3 Can I perform multiple requests using the same handle?
With libcurl you can. With PHP/CURL you cannot. This is a limitation in the
PHP/CURL code. Therefore, you need to close each handle after each request
and create a new one for the following one.
I've heard rumours that this situation has been fixed in PHP5, but that is
unconfirmed.
